Representative Nathaniel Moran

Dear [firstname],

At the start of this Congress, the House of Representatives promised the American people that we would rein in reckless government spending. Last week, we took a step in the right direction by passing H.R. 2811, the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023, which is the largest spending cut passed by the House of Representatives in history. It is expected to save hardworking taxpayers up to $4.8 trillion over the next decade.

The Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 returns spending levels to those of Fiscal Year 2022 – spending levels from just a few months ago. It also:

Rescinds unspent COVID-19 funds;
Repeals President Biden’s “Green New Deal” style tax provisions;
Revokes funding allocated for the IRS’s 87,000 new agents;
Terminates the President’s student loan giveaway program;
Restores work requirements to certain assistance programs for able-bodied individuals without dependents;
Unleashes American energy production; and
Gives Congress the authority to block federal regulations that would have an economic impact of $100 million or more.

This legislation now moves to the Senate for consideration. My hope is that it will result in good faith action from the Senate and the President to produce a responsible bill that is in the best interest of Americans.

Visiting with East Texas Farmers and Ranchers

The Agricultural industry is the backbone of our nation. So, to kick off my week back in Texas, I traveled southeast to visit the Whitworth Cattle Company and the Hunt Livestock Exchange, both in Henderson – in addition to the Dietert Poultry Farm in Laneville. While visiting, I was joined by representatives from the Texas Farm Bureau and other agricultural leaders to discuss how the cost of labor, fuel, and fertilizer is hurting the bottom line for those across the industry.

Regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency have covered our cattle and poultry farmers in red tape – even as they are working to recover from the pandemic. Rather than overregulating the industry, we need to support our farmers and ranchers with policies that encourage growth and innovation.

As Congress begins to consider the 2023 Farm Bill, input from our local agricultural leaders will be vital. I look forward to working with our ranchers, farmers, foresters, and the entire agricultural community in East Texas to ensure that our interests are considered when developing this important legislation.

Recognizing Greater Longview United Way

Last week, I was proud to stand on the Floor of the House of Representatives to recognize the Greater Longview United Way, who raised over $1.1 million for nonprofit organizations across Gregg County. Throughout the nation, United Ways play a leading role in bringing people together to volunteer, advocate, and give back to their communities.

Thank you to Executive Director Dr. Evan Dolive, Campaign and Community Outreach Manager Heather Stevenson, and Front Office Coordinator Raven Atkinson. Your dedication to United Way, and our community, is appreciated.

Speaking Out Against President Biden's Nomination of Julie Su

During Julie Su’s tenure as Secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency and subsequently as the US Deputy Secretary of Labor, Su repeatedly displayed a lack of judgement regarding the needs and concerns of American workers. She was a leading voice in the adoption of the California Assembly Bill 5, which reclassified many independent contractors forcing them into formal employer-employee relationships and stifling opportunities for them to advance their careers and build their small business. In truth, her efforts were meant to do one thing—build union membership in California. Further, it was under her leadership in California that over $30 billion in fraudulent COVID-19 funds were paid out to criminals – the largest exhibition of fraud in California history.

California’s misguided policies and mismanaged operations do not reflect the values of East Texans. As a result, I felt compelled to speak out against her nomination for Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor on the House Floor. The United States does not need someone who lacks both an understanding of good workforce policy and who also lacks the capacity to manage serving effectively in the role of Secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor. East Texas businesses do not need this either.

Meeting with the National Community Pharmacists Association

Community pharmacists serve our community in so many ways, and they make sure East Texans receive the medication they need, when they need it. I enjoyed meeting with a group of East Texas pharmacists last week in Washington, as they represented the National Community Pharmacists Association. Together, we discussed a plethora of hurdles they face in serving fellow East Texans and what we might do together to increase access to affordable medication and ensure transparency within the industry about costs and pricing. Thanks for all you do, community pharmacists!

With gratitude,

Nathaniel Moran
